Poet

It is part of a poor spirit to undervalue himself and blush.

Skill and confidence are an unconquered army.

The mouse that hath but one hole is quickly taken.

A gentle heart is tied with an easy thread.

In conversation, humor is worth more than wit and easiness more than knowledge.

One father is enough to govern one hundred sons, but not a hundred sons one father.

He that cannot forgive others, breaks the bridge over which he himself must pass if he would ever reach heaven; for everyone has need to be forgiven.

Be thrifty, but not covetous.

One sword keeps another in the sheath.

Many kiss the hand they wish cut off.

War makes thieves and peace hangs them.

Terkadang keuntungan terbaik adalah kalah.

If a donkey bray at you, don't bray at him.

He that will learn to pray, let him go to sea.

Never was a miser a brave soul.

War makes thieves and peace hangs them.

Do not wait; the time will never be 'just right.' Start where you stand, and work with whatever tools you may have at your command, and better tools will be found as you go along.

Speak not of my debts unless you mean to pay them.

He that is not handsome at 20, nor strong at 30, nor rich at 40, nor wise at 50, will never be handsome, strong, rich or wise.

The resolved mind hath no cares.
